Now that my boyfriend is on a mission, I do stuff like this. Spend nights in the library reading depressing books.
But seriously, I have an announcement. Ok world. I've officially given in. I just finished the 3rd chapter of the first book in the Hunger Games series. I was always against reading it because it's what everyone else was doing. But my MG roommate (Kaydee :)) somehow talked me into reading it. So this was how I spent my night. Reading. In my local library. With my sisters. They'd always look up and say, "What part are you on?" and then smile and nod their heads when I told them. I figured it's something new to start and enjoy while my boy is gone :) I'm always up for setting new goals. Which is why I'm going to finish this book before the movie comes out, and then see the movie. I'll let you know what I think of the books.. So far, as of Chapter 3, I'm not that big of a fan and think it's pretty depressing.. But I will admit, it's addicting.
Well everyone, I am officially back in the good ole USA after 4 amazing months in China :) Which means I'll be updating my blog on a regular basis again! :)
I just can't believe how fast time went. I swear I was just posting about how I was leaving. I could write a million paragraphs about all my experiences there. But that's probably a bit much huh. So I'll just tell you about my "coming home" experience.
About a week before we left, I developed a pretty nasty ear infection. I thought it would be gone before we left China. Well, that didn't happen. So I flew from Hong Kong, to Korea, to LA, to SLC with this infection. It wasn't so bad at first, but by the time we got to LA I was dying. So when we landed in Salt Lake I was in a lot of pain. But nothing beat seeing my family and friends :) I am so lucky to have other MG friends who surprised me at the airport. Ashley, Alix, you guys seriously rock :)
I also witnessed some soldiers coming home. And wanna know the cutest thing? I witnessed one soldier coming down the escalader and when he got to the bottom, his girlfriend ran up and hugged him. Right after that, he kneeled down and proposed :) Talk about making me antsy.. It kinda really made me want my boy home right then and there.
Ok I got side tracked. Sorry. So then we left the airport and I went straight to the emergency room. I almost made it to 20 years young without ever stepping foot into that place. Dang my stupid ear infection.
(p.s. This was taken after the doctor stuck something in the ear and made me cry. I wasn't very happy)
They just gave me a ton of meds and sent me on my way. The next day I was nauseated alllllll day. I was so mad cuz I only have 2 weeks in Utah. But prayers really do work, and today I felt better. I am finally enjoying the Christmas season. I've got a lot of stuff to do in the next 3 days!
Basically, I'm just glad to be home :) It's so cliche to say, but there really is no place like home for the holidays :)
(And just to update you, me and Preston are just better than ever :) We get to skype on Christmas and I'm awaiting a Christmas package from him. We're still more in love than ever :))
What do I do when I'm bored on a beautiful spring day?
I go to a field across from the temple and make wishes on dandelions with my little sister :) And then take pictures of it. Just for fun :) You can never make too many wishes :)
My sister Paris-Abigail has a blog and you guys should follow it :) She is a potential MG :) maybe... She does not have a boyfriend currently but how awesome would it be if I hooked her up with a premie and she became an MG? It's a dream of mine :) Hahaha she actually thinks all us MG's are awesome. ANYWAY, she writes about her journey through life and traveling and stuff. It's a good read :) Just in case any of you guys were interested in adding another fantastic blog to your dashboard :) I'm actually gonna make her do a post about being a potential MG.
I give her blog two thumbs up!!!
(she may be forcing me against my will to write this post) but that makes it funny :)
